The Schuylkill County Sheriff’s Office K/9 Store is now open!!!!

We are excited to announce the launch of our online K/9 apparel store, created by Titan Threadz in support of “Sara,” our newly acquired Explosives Detection and Human Tracking K/9.

Sara has an important job ahead of her, helping keep our courthouse, county facilities, and community safe. Her training and operational needs require specialized equipment and training aids, and every purchase from our K/9 store will help support Sara and her mission.

Whether you’re a proud supporter of law enforcement, a K/9 enthusiast, or simply want to show your support for Sara, we hope you’ll consider purchasing some of our new apparel.

Please use this link for purchase: https://schuylkillcountysheriffk92026.itemorder.com/shop/home/

Thank you for all your help and support!!
